Oil Coating Chocolate C&T Quincy Ad Illustration

Practicing helps! Did I ever think I would have illustrated oil coating chocolate by itself? No. Luckily for me, my instructor in school gave an assignment to illustrate chocolate. It was surprisingly hard, as slight color shifts make it look unappealing. The practice piece I had from that class helped me land this job. Thank you Alex Bostic for making us illustrate things like chocolate and chrome! The interesting thing was that I think they had a photo of pretty much the same thing, but the photo made the chocolate look dead and not rich. I have included the illustration as well as the ad it ran in. This was pretty much a airbrush piece all the way with acrylic touch ups applied with brushes.
